About the Book:
Sebastién Marcelis’
adventurous life couldn’t be more rewarding for him, financially. He was
escorting some of the most elite women in Chicago...living decadently as a
result. His unique occupation has allowed him to travel the world and live a
zestful life. His dashing, sexy good looks, charismatic personality and
unfaltering charm have kept him in demand for his services. Consequently, he has
unintentionally stolen the hearts of his clients. The attention he provides has
surpassed their wildest expectations.
Sebastién had never had the desire to
fall in love, by design. But he finds himself faced with decisions of the heart
when he meets Natalya Armanni. Against his practice and power to resist love’s
force, he can't ignore his heart longing for her. However, falling in love could
either mean concealing his lifestyle or confessing the truth and risk losing the
love of his life. When he follows his instincts, life is good until a
possessively insidious client learns of his diversion and takes matters into her
own hands.
Sebastién
encountered new obstacles that would also test his purpose to love. Will he be
determined to fight for love, making sacrifices, or will true love pass him by?

PRESS RELEASE: Stormy Love in the Windy City
New book's character must choose between the delights of many or the love of one
COLUMBUS, Ohio--Sebastién Marcelis lives out a fantasy life. He travels in limousines with the most elite and beautiful women in Chicago, travels all over the world and is rewarded handsomely for the simple pleasure of his company. He is a sought-after male escort who steals the hearts of his clients with his charm and good looks, but has never lost his own. The Escort Et Cetera (now available through 1stBooks), by Theresa E. Liggins, takes readers on a passionate ride through the mind and guarded heart of a man desperately denying his emotions and battling the forces of gravity as he falls in love.
Liggins expertly paints a true-to-life portrait of a charismatic heartbreaker: dashing, attentive and thoughtful, yet painfully unattainable. Over the years, Sebastién builds a fantastically profitable career. A blend of professionalism and charm, he regularly buys small gifts suited to his clients' unique personalities and, in turn, keeps himself in high demand. Self-assured and free, Sebastién is confident his entourage of prestigious women and well-lined pockets are all the ingredients for a fulfilling life. When he meets Natalya Armanni, he's forced to reconsider.
Captivated by Natalya, he finds himself breaking all of his own rules. He can't ignore his feelings and falls in love with her, despite himself. Sebastién now must decide whether to conceal his lifestyle or confess and risk losing the love of his life. For once, he follows his heart and finds true happiness. A happily-ever-after ending isn't yet in the cards, however.
Unlike other works in its genre, The Escort Et Cetera has more loop-de-loops than the typical roller-coaster romance novel. Though Sebastién went to great lengths to professionally distance himself while keeping clients happy, his efforts were lost on one disillusioned woman, who feels scorned and cast aside. Nina Elliott isn't about to be bested by another woman. Determined and very possessive, she refuses to stop until he becomes her lover. Will Sebastién ever escape his past?
The predicaments that befall Liggins' characters are common struggles faced by many real-life couples. Sebastién's unwillingness to surrender to love is similar to the outlooks on love many individuals hold. Many believe it is safer to like many than to love one; without expectations, hopes cannot be dashed. In the end, he finds money and prestige are nothing without someone to share them with.
Liggins' newest romance exploits the power of love and the consequences of actions, past or present. The publication of The Escort Et Cetera follows two other works, Life is But a Dream and Dance Me to the End of Love (both available through 1stBooks). She is currently working on a sequel to The Escort Et Cetera.
